Pumpkin Bread

This is our traditional Thanksgiving pumpkin bread recipe from the Wesley Hall School for Early Childhood kitchen. It makes 3 small loaves -- we use small aluminum loaf pans -- easy for gifting. We double the recipe and make two batches to cover us, family and friends. Try a slice in the toaster oven and then spread with a bit of cream cheese.
